    Because BMW signals are different. Tiny tap gets you three blinks and goes off (more standard now). Pushing a direction turns them on, and unlike other cars you push the same direction again to disengage. This way you never accidentally push too far and do the opposite signal.

    I definitely prefer the BMW signal to any other vehicles I’ve driven, but as a BMW driver I’ve learned that when you signal people will aggressively close gaps. I still signal but take the space almost instantly because I know 90% of drivers will try to block me out.














  • Man, these guys really just hated being associated with Stalin and Mao so much that they’re not picking up what you’re putting down. You’re correct, left wing movements can absolutely be led by authoritarians with a cult of personality. That said, I think most leftists view authoritarianism as something so abhorrent that they don’t associate those leaders with actual leftist policies.
